Why it matters
Showcase #56 is notable for featuring the first appearance of the new Doom Patrol, a team that helped define DC Comics' mid-1960s interest in unconventional, outsider heroes. As part of a series designed to test new concepts, this issue remains a significant piece of Silver Age history for its role in solidifying the quirky, science-fiction-oriented tone that became synonymous with the publisher's experimentation during that era.
